What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.

I came here after seeing the multitude of 5 star reviews, It was not until I headed in and saw that…read morethese rating had been established 3-4 year ago made me realise how far this place had fallen. The decor is that of your standard Wetherspoons, with a tv on every wall. At the bar were some very loud unsavory characters, so quickly ordering a drink we tucked ourselves into a far away corner. With my partner gone I felt really unsafe. Everyone who walked passed to reach the bathroom was intimidating and loud. We were quite snacky and had briefly looked at the uninspiring menu , but after sitting there for five minutes, half expecting a glass to tumble towards us we downed our drinks and left for the Wick at Both Ends across the road. I am sure this once was a family safe and friendly bar one , but no longer. Very cheap beer and food though, but that was not enough for us to stay.

There are a great variety of real tasty locally brewed beers (many if not all of them I think are brewed in the bar itself) and the staff are incredible. Real rustic punky / folky vibes inside and there's always some great music playing in the background. Usually things like Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, Sum41, Bowie, AAF, Blink 182 etc!

I've really enjoyed my time spent at Twisted Barrel! It has…read morea chill Hipster/Boho sort of vibe. Warm and cozy in the winter, and sprawls outside in the summer. Most of all the beers, cider and ales on tap were created in this shop! You can literally see all the equipment that was used around the seating area. Although they're not brewing it while you're there, it's sort of like eating in the kitchen of a restaurant. The staff there are all super cool. Especially on Friday and Saturday nights. They always recommend different drinks to what sort you like, and even let you have samples sometimes. They used to serve vegan food, but now it's only drinks and some nuts. There's also beers to take away, and sometimes they do deals with the other local FarGo vendors so keep an eye out. I've seen events going on there some nights as well like open mic night and quiz night. Some nights I go by and it's so packed there's standing room only. Other nights you can get the place to yourself. It's a bit hit or miss. But all in all if you're planning to go with a group of friends, best to send someone ahead early to snag a table with chairs. Boys beware: Not the sort of place to pick up chicks. This is usually older generation clientele who really appreciate small batch beers and a chill vibe associating with their own friends. This is Not a pub or bar for PUA's! Haha. Great drinks and independently owned. Definitely recommend stopping in! ;)

Found it to be middling, but followed it up with the more interesting Black Diamond by Banks' Being a long term major R.E.M fan I couldn't resist going for the Lightin' Hopkins burger, named after the same blues singer as the R.E.M track. I was a little nervous given that the menu describes it as very hot and my ability to stand the heat has waned dramatically since I turned 30. However despite the deep fried red chilli, chilli paste and jalapeños present, the kick was thankfully nothing I couldn't handle. The burger was really rather nice and they have an impressive depth of different burger choices if lightin' doesn't hit the spot for you There was a lot of visible evidence that live music plays an important part in this pub's existence

Good first experience at Chop'd. I thought this was a massive international chain come over from…read morethe US but actually it turns out I am confusing it with an East Coast chain called Chop't! I have been seriously unhealthy recently (since about 2014, actually) and so Chop't was an ideal choice. You can build your own salad or if lazy/too socially awkward to speak to people you can get a pre-prepared one which has the advantage of giving you calorie information. It's interesting to see how many calories a dressing adds! I picked up the jerk chicken salad as thought that was a nice unusual meat for a salad and also it was the lowest calorie option - it also recommended the lowest calorie dressing, balsamic vinegar (all pre-packaged salads come with dressing recommendations but you can pick the one you want or none at all, which is cool). The chicken was nice and tasty, so nice and tasty I ate it all first then regretted I only had lettuce leaves and grilled red pepper left. My friend commented they should hide the chicken at the bottom as a reward. But wait! Chop'd had hidden some delicious sweet potato at the bottom as a reward. Winner. I regret they do not use (exclusively) rocket but other than that I liked Chop'd and will be back.

A big yes to Chop'd, infact a big massive yes to Chop'd…read more I'd heard they were opening up a while back and I'd had a look on social media to see what they were about. Salad and health food options - nothing revolutionary there but something we need more of in Manchester, so I was looking forward to trying them out. Food wise - great: big bowls of healthy salad and veg with the option to add in some protein or cheese for a treat. Price wise - also great: a 'regular' salad starts at £5.45 and only increases if you want to add more items in - but a mountain of lettuce, a choice of 3 vegetables and healthy dose of chicken was more than enough for me! All sounds pretty good doesn't it but wondering why I give 5 stars? I just love the business model - everything about it. I'm quite in awe with it still a day after being there, here's why: A lot of London imports lose their way when coming to Manchester - they seem chain-y, uninspiring and lack any local touch to really appeal to Mancunians. Chop'd avoid these errors and excel in implementation. They have Grindsmith coffee in house, what a clever touch to go with a local company (a great one I may add) and have their branding and signage way clearer than any 'chopd' logos - a massive h/t there. And finally, the speed and ease of service is second to none. You can pick up a ready made salad, you can create your own from scratch in a process that takes 2 minutes tops and you can even order online from box to full salad and collect when it's ready. It's not revolutionary as I said but whilst Manchester has been booming with investment and expansion, some of the traits the London city joints offer up has seemingly skipped our fair city - well until now. I may be blowing it out of proportion and chances are in 2 years time this same exact experience may only merit 4 stars, but in Manchester current climate Chop'd is a for sure winner. I'm a fan.
